Oldhammer LOTR – Galadriel & Skarloc's Lothlorien Wood Elves
Elves… heroes or villains?
Buddies,
At last, those pointy eared elves have mobilized their forces.
Here are the Wood Elves of Lothlorien.
Rumors that the Dark Lord Sauron has moved his headquarters to Dol Goldur across the river from Lorien has reached Galadriel Evenstar – Queen of the Elves.
And while the Elf Queen has great hidden powers of perception… she seems more concerned with events happening in Moria.
Does she know that Frodo the Hobbit has the One Ring and is under the care of the Dwarven Kings?
Does she fear that the Ring will fall into their stuntied fingers?
But the Dark Lord of Mordor is close and she must shield her mind lest Sauron glimpse her thoughts.
While the idea of the Ring falling to the Dwarves is terrible, Sauron regaining his Ring is still infinitely worse.
Onwards to the Golden Wood of Lothlorien…

The Elven army emerges silently from the woods.
Wardancers!
They will battle the enemy… in dance!
And here are Skarloc's Wood Elf Archers, a regiment of reknown.
In the center is Skarloc, the hooded One, his sword has Runes of Swiftness, Armor, & Protection.
On the left is Kaia Stormwitch who is both a hero AND the standard bearer!
Kaia carries the group's standard, which incorporates a heart-shaped casket holding the ashes of a legendary Elven Hero, Kern son of the goddess Torothal. It adds 2 points to the unit's Ld, rather than the usual 1. Her magical dagger can cast up to three Lightning Bolt spells per day.
Finally, here we have Galadriel and her Dryad Guards!
If she gets ahold of the One Ring…
"In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"
Galadriel: Minions! Are you ready for war?
Ren McCormack: Milady, my Wardancers are ready to march and breakdance too!
Skarloc: Clouds of arrows will block out the light of the sun at your command!
Quickbeam: My leafy canopy is a bit bare, does anyone have some Miracle-Gro?

Will the forces of Lothlorien march against the ruined fortress of Dol Goldur, fortify the Golden Wood, or march to Moria?
And if they do march to Moria, will it be to help or hinder the Dwarves?
As a wise Dwarf once said… Never trust an Elf!!!
